Children's Book Creation: Layout of a Children's Book
http://childrensbookcreation.blogspot.com/2013/04/layout-of-childrens-book.html
Monday, April 15, 2013. Layout of a Children's Book. When do you create the page layout for your children's book? I think the perfect time to start thinking about your layout is when your story is written and you are starting to make up little dummy books to finalize your pagination. This allows you to get creative with each spread, figure out what pages need illustrations and which pages can be purely text. Your chances at getting your book into schools. See my post: Typography for Early Readers. I deci...

Children's Book Creation: Printing a Book
http://childrensbookcreation.blogspot.com/2012/07/printing-book.html
Monday, July 16, 2012. As most of you know I have been waiting for my books to arrive from the printers in China. Well! The cost of printing and shipping were not the only costs I encountered when importing the books. Once the books made it to New Zealand I had to pay the logistics company for all their services as well as GST. These charges were close to half the cost of the printing and freight, just something to be aware of. Another option is to:. Publish your book with CreateSpace:. I decided to crea...

Children's Book Creation: Case Study: Part 4, STORYBOARDING YOUR STORY
http://childrensbookcreation.blogspot.com/2011/12/case-study-part-3-storyboarding-your.html
Wednesday, December 14, 2011. Case Study: Part 4, STORYBOARDING YOUR STORY. I am now at a stage where my story is almost complete. I have re written it many times, had a few people read it, had an assessor give me feedback and most importantly had a few readings with some children to make sure my story catches their attention. I am now ready to start visualising the story. A good way to do this is storyboarding. Labels: catch that fly. Storyboarding a childrens book. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Children's Book Creation: Typography for Early Readers
http://childrensbookcreation.blogspot.com/2011/05/typography-for-early-readers.html
Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Typography for Early Readers. One of the most important parts of your book design is the typography. Children learning to read are only familiar with basic letter forms and are taught to read black text on white background. This is an important thing to think about when designing your book. Use the illustrations and design elements to create the aesthetic you are after rather than an overly expressive typeface. AG Schoolbook™ BQ Font Family. Report School Font Family. Do not hyph...

Children's Book Creation: Formatting a Book for iPad
http://childrensbookcreation.blogspot.com/2011/05/formatting-book-for-ipad.html
Wednesday, May 4, 2011. Formatting a Book for iPad. The best way to make your book suitable for the iPad and other digital reading devices is to use ePub format. This is a very easy format to create and it allows your text and images to reflow and resize to fit the screen of the device. This makes the readers experience positive and allows the device to sort out the format. A great tool I found for creating ePub files is http:/ code.google.com/p/sigil/. Labels: amazon kindle book.
